Montana Camping Tent with Rainfly, Weatherproof Family Tent Sets Up in 15 Mins, Fits Multiple Airbeds

I’m lucky, because I got this on sale, 3 years ago. Since then, it’s been with us in near freezing, all the way up to 100 F. We’ve had it in multiple rainstorms, and this week, we had 6 tents in our group, and pretty much only ours stayed dry. This was in the midst of a massive storm system that just sat on top of the Catskills (and us), raining down so hard that (in or out of the tent) you couldn’t even talk to the person 5 feet away from you! The rain was ongoing like this (alternating between heavy and torrential) for over 18 hours before our group finally made the decision to evacuate before all the roads became closed out. We were still basically dry inside.

Have had this tent for three years now have taken many camping trips and it is still as great as when we first bought it. Plenty of room on the inside. We put in a queen mattress, toddler bed and blow up couch with still plenty of room in the center.

I liked this tent, size was perfect for a queen sized air mattress (though it was kind of in the way of the door). I used it once, no rain so did not use the rain fly. On the second use, it was storming, heavy rain and downpours. The rain fly leaked. It soaked our bedding and my partner's suitcase flooded. There were puddles inside the tent. The windows were zipped up and the rain fly was properly put on, so initially we were confused until my partner accidentally booked his head on the top of the tent and water showered down from both the seams and the fabric of the rainfly. Not great for a week long camping trip. Thought I could trust Coleman

This tent is very big! It is marketed as an eight-person tent which means it can comfortably sleep four adults with gear. It was pretty easy to set up and even though my wife and I are amateurs, we were able to do it in about 30 minutes. The instructions (sewn into the bag) are clear and easy to understand. The tent poles are color coded to match the seams of the sleeves that they go inside. The poles are fiberglass, so I recommend wearing gloves to prevent splinters. I especially like the poles that are inserted into the tent door. These are optional, but they make the door function like a real door instead of just a flap which allows for much easier passage. The rainfly has a covered entry area and there is a small door mat included in the package. The tent fabric and seams appear to be well made and with some care should last a long time. The floor seams are about four inches off the ground and so should provide good water protection. Most of the top of the tent is mesh, so without the rain fly, there is plenty of ventilation and a good view of the night sky. There is a window at each end of the tent and in the door, so even with the fly installed, there is still decent ventilation. The zippers all operated smoothly. There are few amenities inside the tent, only two small pockets and a single roof hook. I would have liked to see a couple more roof hooks for lights and maybe two extra pockets. I think a fabric divider at midpoint of the tent would also have been nice to offer a little privacy. The tent is tall enough for me to stand up straight (I'm six feet). There is a cord port that looks like it would prevent water entry short of flooding. Packing the tent up was very easy and took about 20 minutes. Though I think it might be possible, and I tried hard to do it, I was unable to get the tent folded back into its original size. Thankfully, the bag is designed to be expanded, once I did that, the tent fit inside easily and really wasn't all that much bigger. Still, it's a big tent and rather heavy, so I wouldn't want to have to carry it in a backpack, I think the main use of it is going to be for car camping families and for this, I think it is an excellent choice.

I like this tent for the price, we use it once or twice a year for two of us, and the other half of the tent stores all of our stuff. Held up against light rain well. One of the sticks did snap pretty early on, and we had to use a lot of tape to keep it up through the rest of the weekend. Might be good to keep a spare pole on hand. I bought on sale, so it was worth the price.

We like to camp and decided it was time to take our camping game up a notch and make it more comfortable. Enter the Coleman Montana 8P tent. This is marketed as an 8 person tent, so we knew it would have plenty of room for two adults and a large yellow lab. Setup: It's doable with one person, but much easier with two. With two it took us about 15 minutes to setup the first time. The instructions are very clear and are sewn into the tent bag. The tent poles are color coded and we found they required a bit of effort to get them into place. There is also a tent pole that inserts into the door frame which is a feature we haven't seen before, but we do like it. The last item to install is the tent fly, which takes about 5 minutes and is fairly easy to do. Features: Space - this tent is huge! We first placed an area rug in the tent. Next, we were able to fit an inflatable queen size mattress on one end (the bedroom) with a small nightstand and dog bed. On the other side we placed an inflatable love seat, coffee table, and end table. Talk about glamping! The tent has plenty of mesh and we found the tent has excellent ventilation. There are also two small pockets for placing items as well as a ceiling hook. Construction: We found the tent to be good quality with good quality materials. We did examine all of the stitching and did find some pin holes at several locations. We purchased Coleman seam sealer and used it to close up these pin holes and are hopeful this step will make the tent waterproof. We found the door with the tent pole to be a neat idea. During the day, you can simply open and close the door without using the zipper. We do like this feature. When it's time to turn in, we used the zipper to secure the door for the night. We found it a little difficult to operate the door zipper as the flap got in the way. Since we only have to do this in the evening and morning, or if we're leaving for the day, we didn't find this to be much of an issue. Conclusion: We love our Montana 8P tent. It's so nice to have an abundance of space to hang out in after a day of hiking / exploring. We think the Coleman Montana offers a lot of tent for the money. We would recommend this tent to others.

Pole broke the first week. Bag says weatherTec, tent does not. It's highly unstable without the rain guard, which leaks if it isn't perfectly adjusted. The need to have a rain fly for stability makes it hot and humid, even with the massive amount of ventilation in the actual tent. The rain fly provides very little coverage in the area of the door, which never lines up with the velcro on the tent. It will take 1 person more than 45 minutes to set up, if they are experienced. Inexperienced? Good luck. I wanted to like it. It's spacious.

Tent pole broke on our third trip.

Es una tienda grande, no para 8 como dice pero si para 4 cómodos. Los materiales son de buena calidad. Necesitas mínimo 2 personas para montarla y desmontarla.
